<p class="Text1MR">Side underride guards were the topic of a recent documentary by PBS’s Frontline – and OOIDA’s Lewie Pugh was interviewed for the show. We’ll sit down with him to discuss the documentary and find out where the Association stands on the issue. Also, we have some positive updates on parking, such as the Truck Parking Safety Improvement Act passing out of committee – but also some bad, including another major city banning truck parking. And rain and cold temperatures have led to a late start to produce season. We’ll have the latest on what that means for produce haulers out west, and what rates are looking like as we head into the middle of June.</p> <p class="Text1MR">0:00 – Newscast</p> <p class="Text1MR">09:25 – OOIDA: Stronger rear bumpers yes; side underride guards no</p> <p class="Text1MR">24:19 – Good news and bad news for truck parking</p> <p class="Text1MR">39:03 – A rainy day for produce season</p>
